[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a sad sorry thread.  I opted to view it just to see if it went the way I thought and sure enough it did.  What a mess[/quote]

I think it’s a good debate, a bit pointed towards one person, but overall semblance of a debate if a coach needs to have played organized soccer to be an effective coach.

IMHO - not necessary but coaches who haven’t played at a high level may be good at other thing like recruiting, exposure, organization and rely on a strong staff with that experience to develop the technical and mental / IQ side of the game. It can work but not ideal. It is telling that all of the other ecnl/ga clubs have TDs with prior playing experience. I wonder if this is also true at ecnlr/ccl/edp levels[/quote]

Considering the fundamental lack of a multi generational soccer culture like we have for basketball, football and baseball, it is pretty important that the coaches have a high level of playing experience. Most Dads and Mom's played the previous mentioned sports and have a good literacy on the topic. But soccer requires both literacy of the sport as well as technical level that is better than the players to demonstrate proper technique. [/quote]
